Fine. In summary, I think we agree that this quarter's domestic sales figures show a marked trend in microwave sales. Sam, I'd like you to follow up on that, please. Let's see where this is heading. Jane, thank you for the comprehensive PR status report. I understand there are still a few problems to be worked out, but we all trust in your ability. Ladies and gentlemen, the new design is satisfactory. Let's keep Action ahead of the game.
Finally, I appreciate your comments and suggestions about the Canadian sales outlook. This is our first opportunity to promote our products in North America, so we certainly want to cover every detail.
Well, then, that covers everything. I make a motion to close the third quarterly meeting of Action Appliances. Is there a second?

句型總結
● 討論結束
1. That wraps up the last item on the agenda.
2. That takes care of the last order of business.

主席首先應宣佈討論已經結束，之後再作結語。"wrap up"與"conclude"的意思相同，表示‘結束'。"take care of"在此有‘完成'之意。

宣佈討論結束之後，主持人應總結會議的討論結果或要點。"I think we agree..."是一個的間接句法，婉轉地詢問其它人的意見；而"in summary" 、"overall"或"to repeat"是作摘要的實用詞彙，通常置於句首。
